Mapped folder disconnecting

Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone can figure this one out:

I have a user running Windows XP Professional with Office 2000 SR3 installed. Plain vanilla system running on a Dell Dimension 4500S /w integrated video. User is connecting to a shared folder (mapped as F:) on a server running W2K Server SP3. Whenever the user uses a program that needs to save to the shared folder, connection to folder is lost due to network being disconnected. Funny thing is internet explorer is still able to connect to external web sites, and pings are returned fine. When I synchronize the files, it connects and holds the connection again. Seems pretty random (i.e. NOT every 15 minutes or possible power save issue). Any insight would be greatly appreciated....
